Após ter encerrado a turnê "Tempo Rei" no Brasil, no último fim de semana, Gilberto Gil desembarcou em Paris, onde emplaca o line-up do festival Back2Black nesta sexta-feira (3), com ingressos esgotados há semanas. Ao lado de filhos e netos, ele subirá no palco no célebre Théâtre du Châtelet para apresentar os grandes sucessos de seus mais de 60 anos de carreira.  Daniella Franco, da RFI em Paris O festival Back2Black é realizado desde 2009, com 12 edições no Rio e uma em Londres, em 2012. Em Paris, o evento foi inicialmente pensado para ocorrer em 2025, durante a Temporada Cultural França-Brasil. No entanto, a organização se estendeu, levando o festival a coincidir com o encerramento da turnê "Tempo Rei", na qual Gil se despediu dos grandes palcos no Brasil, reunindo mais de um milhão de fãs.  A edição parisiense do Back2Black tem o formato de um dia, mas conta com uma rica programação. Entre as atrações, está a exposição do artista plástico Carybé e duas sessões de projeção do documentário "3 Obás de Xangô", de Sérgio Machado, às 16h30 e às 18h. A festa começa com o Baile Bom no Grand Foyer do teatro, seguido de um DJ set da luso-guineense Umafricana, às 19h. Em seguida, a cantora brasileira Agnes Nunes e o artista camaronense Blick Bassy entram em cena às 20h e o espetáculo se encerra com chave de ouro, com o show de Gilberto Gil, às 21h20.  "O Back2Black foi criado no sentido de levar para o Brasil uma África contemporânea que era pouco conhecida, principalmente quando eu comecei o festival, em 2009", diz a idealizadora e diretora do Back2Black, Connie Lopes. "Nesta época, havia muito poucos artistas contemporâneos africanos que iam ao Brasil. A África ainda era algo muito folclórico no Brasil e as pessoas conheciam muito pouco sobre essa cultura pulsante que é a cultura africana", reitera.  Connie, que conhece Gilberto Gil há mais 40 anos, ressalta a relação do cantor e compositor com o público francês. "Eu viajei muito com Gil no início dos anos 1990, eu vim muitas vezes com ele à França, então sei do carinho que ele recebe em cada país. Na França, ele sempre teve uma acolhida muito, muito grande", lembra.  Apesar de não ter detalhes sobre o repertório que será apresentado nesta noite, Connie garante que será um momento especial. "Gil é Gil, um símbolo tão forte! Qualquer show dele, seja acústico, solo com violão, junto a uma banda de quinze pessoas, a gente sempre sai de alma lavada", afirma. Gil: um tesouro nacional Nascido em 26 de junho de 1942 em Salvador, na Bahia, Gilberto Gil é um dos maiores artistas do Brasil, pilar da MPB. Junto de Caetano Veloso, Gal Gosta e Tom Zé, fundou o Tropicalismo, movimento artístico que revolucionou a cultura brasileira na década de 1960. Com mais de 50 álbuns lançados e oito Grammys, é muito mais que um músico, e alcança um status de tesouro nacional.   Na política, Gil teve participação ativa na resistência à ditadura militar, chegando a ser preso e tendo de se exilar. Teve também um papel importante na vida pública: foi ministro da Cultura entre 2003 e 2008, onde promoveu políticas voltadas à diversidade cultural.  "Ao longo do tempo, ele vai incorporando no imaginário, tanto no Brasil como no exterior, uma ideia de alegria, de resiliência e de uma reflexão ativa", avalia Sheyla Diniz, professora e pesquisadora colaboradora do Departamento de História da USP. "O professor e crítico literário José Miguel Wisnik se refere a Gil num texto como 'o bom pastor'. É como se ele conduzisse e fosse um intelectual orgânico daquilo que ele faz. O Gil está pensando o Brasil o tempo todo", destaca.  Segundo Sheyla, essa encarnação da brasilidade também ajudou o artista baiano a se posicionar na cena internacional como um dos músicos mais importantes do país. "O mercado europeu, principalmente a França, se interessam pela música brasileira. A marca Brasil tem uma marca simbólica muito grande neste mercado e o Gil sabe trabalhar muito bem com essa marca. Ele explora símbolos de brasilidade sendo ao mesmo tempo internacional", aponta.  Além disso, a professora e pesquisadora destaca o papel que Gil incorpora de mediador cultural do Atlântico Negro, título de uma das obras do sociólogo britânico Paul Gilroy. Sheyla lembra que a partir do momento em que ele é obrigado a se exilar pelo regime militar e chega em Londres, Gil tem contato com artistas e intelectuais da diáspora africana no Reino Unido. Esses encontros desembocarão em uma viagem que o baiano faz para Lagos, na Nigéria, um capítulo de sua vida que resultará no álbum "Refavela", de 1977, uma homenagem aos laços entre o Brasil e a África. "Gil assume um papel muito importante na revitalização das práticas afro-diaspóricas brasileiras, e vai se construindo mesmo como um músico intelectual negro. Estabelece parcerias com Jimmy Cliff, regrava 'No, Woman, No Cry', do Bob Marley", exemplifica. "Ou seja, é impossível não olhar para o Gil e entendê-lo nesse papel. Ele foi conseguindo essa entrada no mundo como intelectual e músico que pensa o lugar do Brasil e dos negros do Brasil no mundo", conclui. Depois de Paris, Gil passa pela Itália, com shows em Roma, em 6 de abril, e Milão, em 8 de abril, e Porto, em Portugal, em 10 de abril. Em julho, Gil volta para a Europa para outras três datas em Londres, dia 7 de julho, Cascais, em Portugal, em 8 de julho, e Perugia, na Itália, em 10 de julho.

Within the Trump administration, Richard Grenell is a jack of all trades. When he's not acting in a diplomatic capacity as special presidential envoy, he's also running one of DC's most esteemed arts institutions, the Kennedy Center. “Everyone should be welcome. No one should be booed. No one should be banned,” Grenell tells Politico's Dasha Burns in a wide-ranging interview in the Kennedy Center's Grand Foyer. Grenell explains why he thinks “the intolerance is coming from the left,” and why “the gay community has to police itself” at Pride parades. Grenell also sheds light on the Trump administration's talks with Russia, immigration enforcement, his potential run for California Governor, and his friendship with First Lady Melania Trump.  Grenell also responds to reports that ticket sales and subscriptions have dropped at the Kennedy Center. Grenell calls those reports “wrong.” Read the statements from the Kennedy Center's CFO here and its SVP of Marketing here.  Plus, senior political reporter Melanie Mason joins Burns to talk about the immigration protests in Los Angeles and how California Governor Gavin Newsom is leading the fight against President Trump's military intervention.

Auckland War Memorial Museum is is losing thousands of dollars a day after being forced to close its doors because an asbestos scare. It's been closed since the tenth of May after the asbestos dust was found in Te Marae Atea Maori Court and the Pacific Galleries. Following swab tests it was discovered in the Grand Foyer - which makes things more complicated because that is a major evacuation route. Chief Executive of Auckland Museum, David Reeves spoke to Lisa Owen.

Auckland's War Memorial Museum still doesn't have a re-opening date after closing on Saturday when asbestos dust was found in multiple areas. The dust isn't air-borne - and has been found in the older part of the museum and Grand Foyer, where the emergency exits are located. Staff have been working remotely. Deputy mayor Desley Simpson says the museum's doing the right thing and putting safety first. "They're working under a licenced asbestos assessor to actually get rid of it."

This is the first in a series on the Pasadena Showcase House of Design. For those not familiar, Pasadena Showcase is an all volunteer organization that has been producing remarkable showcase houses for over 50 years. This episode was first published in April 2018 and the house is now open for for you to see. If you are in Southern California and happen to be in the Pasadena area, I highly recommend that you take the tour and see this fantastic home. What you will find is a collaborative effort by some of the most amazing and talented designers in the business today. I started showcasing design houses on the podcast a few years ago and what I like best about that is the fact that many of you will be listening to these episodes long after the design house is closed. Should that be the case, please visit our YouTube channel where you can see short segments recorded from the house with the designers themselves. These interviews were conducted from the house in the last week of design. You are going to hear the buzz of circular saws, hammering dropping of heavy materials. Makes it kind of fun to hear what is going on behind the scenes. Another element to showcasing design houses is to capture, in real time, the essence for how much work really goes into projects like these. If you are a designer who has considered taking part, a potential sponsor looking to get involved or an enthusiast who wants to know what happens behind the scenes, these are true stories from the front lines of design. Major pressure, immovable deadlines and problems…there are always problems. So today, we are speaking with Amy Peltier of Peltier Interiors. Amy designed the Grand Foyer, and it is grand. Amy is a mid-westerner with great taste. When asked what Amy is ‘crushing on’ now, she has some really interesting thoughts on use of color, art and space. Following Amy is Jason Lai of L2 Interiors. L2 took a Spanish Revival guest house and molded the interior into a sleek and stunning Mid-Century Modern inspired refuge. Listen to Jason explain the philosophy behind the design and again, if you want to see it for yourself you can go tour it, or check out the video on YouTube. I love doing this show for you and I hope you enjoy it, if you do… please go to “Ratings and Reviews” on iTunes, leave us a note and a positive review. Positive ratings helps us attract new listeners to the podcast, and it is very much appreciated. Enjoy this episode of Convo By Design Presented By Snyder Diamond from the Pasadena Showcase House of Design. ___ Music provided by Electric Sol Artist: Electric Sol Song: Your Love Makes Me High www.electricsolmusic.com
